In the strokes that require that you surface within 15m of the start, does the head itself have to break the surface by the 15m mark or does the head have to surface before the feet reach the 15m mark? I had thought it was the former but just read that it was the latter and am not sure if I should believe it or not. For many swimmers there's an almost 2m difference.
Thanks in advance!
Your head must break the surface of the water at or before the 15 meter mark.
By that point, the head must have broken the surface.
"That point" is the 15 meter mark. Your head must break the surface before 15 meters.
